U. S. CLINGS TO ‘GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICHN CUBA Roosevelt Is Unlikely to Intervene Except by Virtual Mandate. BV WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Seripp-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON. Sept. 9—l sand when President Roosevelt gives the order to intervene in Cuba, he will do so on a virtual mandate from the principal foreign powers, especially those of Latin America. Os this. La tin-American diplomats here are convinced. In it, they see the beginning of a practical application of the President's announced policy of "the good neighbor in international relations with special reference to their part ol the world. In these same circles, it is believed the thirty-odd vessels now in Cuban waters, or steaming in that general direction, may be used to evacuate Americans and other foreigners who may be in peril as a result of the revolution Both the President and State Secretary Hull have taken great pains to make it plain that the protection of human lives is the main concern of this government. Property, if destroyed, can be paid for after the excitement is over. Mandate May Be Made Thus, should the admittedly tense situation grow worse, foreigners who feel their lives, are menaced might be concentrated where they could be protected or even removed from the island altogether. After which the Cubans could solve their problems in their own way without any further outside interference. Should conditions in the island become chronically worse, however, resulting in mass misery among the Cubans themselves, it is almost certain that the principal countries of Latin America would ask the United States to step in, in the name of humanity. There are increasing indications that there is to be no repetition in 1933 of the 1926-27 Nicaraguan episode. At that time certain of the European powders made quiet representations to Washington that their nationals w’ere in danger. After the United States intervened to "safeguard foreign lives and property.” however, these same powers used the incident to fan the flames of anti-American sentiment from one end of Latin America to the other. It was worth millions of dollars to them in trade. Already ‘Chiseling’ The writer is informed reliably that America’s competitors in Mexico. Central and South America already have begun to take advantage of the Cuban-Amcrican situation to increase Latin-America’s suspicions against the “colossus of the north." But President Roosevelt thus far has so outplayed them that he almost has turned the tables on them. The predicted intervention not only has not materialized. but his every step thus far as had the well-nigh unanimous approval of Latin America. Placing all his cards face up on the table in front of Latin American diplomats here, the President has offered, in effect, to give them free access at any time to the official files bearing on the exchanges between this government and its representatives in Cuba. He is withholding nothing from “our neighbors" as the crisis develops. an unprecedented action and one which has brought unstinted praise in Latin American circles. Intervention admittedly would play havoc with the rest of our Latin American relations, now regarded as being on the eve of a complete reorientation. Much is expected of the seventh Pan-American congress which meets in Montevideo next December. Without the backing of something like an international mandate, or more particularly a Pan-American mandate, intervention in Cuba at this time would wreck that conference and economically speaking, throw Latin America into the waiting arms of Europe and Japan, of which the President is described as being fully aware.

STYLE WORLD BOWS TO MAE WEST

Curves Stage Triumphant Return at Her Dictum

Thu it the final ntorr in a teriet of three on Mae Wett. the hntom artrett, who it rettorinr curvet to feminine favor. BY WILLIS THORNTON, NEA Service Writer NEW YORK. Sept. 9. 'When Mae West emerged from her ten days as a guest of New York City at its Welfare Island resort, she came forth as a conquering heroine. That the city had sent her there because twelve good men and true decided her play, “Sex," was indecent, made no difference. Women's clubs hailed her as a social force, and Broadway at last admitted that she was a big shot. Tae "dozen plays" which her stay at Welfare had inspired her to write did not materialize immediately. She fooled around with "The Drag," which wis too "strong" to bring even to Broadway, and "This Wicked Age." Neither came to anything. Then suddenly "Dramond Lil” exploded on Broadway like Payne's fireworks. Mae West’s flippant pen, her feline wriggle, and her. husky, croony voice made “Diamond Lil” into something everybody just had to see. The story of the lady who took her funds where she found them was not distinguished, but the costumes of the Lillian Russell era. the purring lines like “I ain’t ice!" and "C'mon up and see me some time—any time!" set up a new character in theater lore to stand beside the Sadie Thompson of “Rain.” a a a “T'VIAMOND LIL" ran on and JL/ on, and finally came the clarion call of Hollywood which comes to all good little actresses sooner or later. "Diamond Lil" became "She Done Him Wrong" in the movies, and millions instead of thousands were able to hear "She's Only a Bird in a Gilded Cage" and the film's throughly disinfected version of "Frankie and Johnnie.” But. more important, millions of women saw the glamorous gowns of Diamond Lil, with their generous revelations of these and those, this and that. And what's more, the French dressmakers saw them. too. Fashion reporters saw several of the more distinguished couturiers popping with great regularity in and out of cinemas showing "She Done Him Wrong." The result was that fashionists agree that this coming season

In City Churches Sunday

The Rev. Dr. E. G. Homrighausen, pastor of the Carrollton Avenue Reformed church, will speak on “The Belfast Presbyteriaan Council” at the 10:45 worship hour Sunday at the church. East Forty-fourth street and Carrollton avenue. Dr. Homrighausen was a delegate to this world convention held in Belfast. Ireland, last June, which embraces the Presbyterian and Reformed churches throughout the world, including nearly forty millions of Christians. He also served on the business committee of the conference and was honofed by being appointed corresponding secretary for the western section. He was the youngest delegate in attendance. Church representatives were present from the United States, Canada and British isles, as well as from every country on the continent and from the Orient. The Presbyterian and Reformed churches originated from the same source, and while the former is named after its organization and arose in Britain, particularly Scotland. out of the conflict over church government, the latter arose in Switzerland. France and Germany out of the differences over church doctrine. Both denominations are Reformed in faith and yet both are Presbyterian in government. Their only distinction is the matter of historical origins and social heritages. The World Council meets every four years. The 1929 gathering was held in Boston and the delegates will meet four years hence in Montreal as guests of the United Church of Canada and the continuing Presbyterian body of that country. Sunday morning Dr. Homrighausen will give a descriptive account of the Belfast assembly, its personnel and its speeches and seek to interpret this great type of Protestantism and its unique heritage and message. an n LITTLE FLOWER ANNOUNCES NOVENA Announcement is made by the Rev.

For the bad girl of the screen and stage is not nearly as black as she is painted. Those cigarets she smokes with such an air in "She Done Him Wrong" are lit for her by her maid just before the scene is shot. Mae herself doesn’t smoke. "I smoke 'em on the stage just because it makes me look hard.” she confides. Further, in her off-stage moments, Mae doesn’t drink or go for "night life.” a a a IT’S not that she's narrowminded about such tilings. She hasn’t time. She dictates plays to a dictating machine. Many a rehearsal in the afternoon has worked out lines Mae wrote in the morning, and then incorporated lines she "ad-libbed" on the rehearsal stage herself; Many an old friend of trouping days has known the helping hand of Mae West. Mae West has a shrewd money sense—ask the movie managers, who brought her to Hollywood, and who were tickled at getting a great Broadway star at what seemed a low contract figure. Then they found that the contracts provided that Mae need not act in any plays unless she herself had approved them. And she refused to anprove any except her own, for which she charged the studio a nifty price. Mae’s never had time even to marry. If she ever does, it’ll be no handsome sheik, she insists. "The homely ones have more sex appeal,” she says bluntly. Then she goes on to explain. "Sex appeal is the radiation of an attractive personality.” It's not necessarily beauty of face or figure. a a a MAE’s slant on clothes was well shown by her comment when Marlene Dietrich tried to start a trousers vogue. "What burns me up,” said Mae, “is them dumb dames on the west coast w’earin’ pants. They don’t have any shame. You’ll never catch me in pants! I take that fashion as a personal insult!” But by the same token, the coming fashions are a personal tribute to Mae West, the little Brooklyn girl who vowed by Venus that a world should come to her own generous ideas of the feminine figure.

A plan is being considered to allow school children, when accompanied by their teachers, to visit the exhibition free in the afternoons. An antique show, the first to be held in Indianapolis, will be one feature of the exhibit.

DEATH FEARED FOR THREE IN MISSING PLANE Autogiro Wrecked in Lake. Belief of Searchers: Faint Hope Held. By Unit'd Prcgt CHICAGO. Sept. 9 Hope for the safety of two pilots and a woman companion, missing on a flight to Chicago from South Bend, Ind, dwindled rapidly today as efforts to find them were redoubled. Sea craft and a half-dozen planes patrolled Lake Michigan along the Indiana shoreline. Two blimps were ready to join planes today in flights over the Indiana-Michigan border The fliers, missing .since they were sighted near Michigan City, about Wednesday noon, were H. W. (Spud) Manning, champion parachute jumper; Carl Otto, pilot of the autogiro plane in which they were flying, and Miss Majenta Gerard, Chicago, who accompanied Manning to South Bend for an aviators’ banquet given by Vincent Bendix. One Hope Held One new thread of hope was revealed today. Two persons at Michigan City reported they saw an autogiro plane returning from over the lake at noon Wednesday. If this was the plane of the missing persons, other aviators said, it was possible that they landed in a sparsely settled section along the state line border. The greatest concern for the trio rose from a statement by the skipper of a lake steamer who reported that he had sighted a large piece of fabric about six miles off shore between here and Michigan City, it was feared that the fabric was from the autogiro, which, pilots pointed out, would sink immediately if brought down on water. If the plane came down on the lake, the only hope that the trio still was alive rested on the possibility that they might have ripped off the gasoline tank and used it as a float. Faced Strong Winds Manning and the two others started for Chicago shortly after 10 o’clock Wednesday, fighting strong headwinds. He said he would take a short cut across the lake, instead of following the customary shoreline route. It was possible that, once out over the lake, he found his fuel supply rapidly diminishing and turned | back, then cracked up the ship as ! he brought it down on land. In this I event the trio still might be alive, but unable to get to the nearest town. Manning, who performed in the international air races here last week-end, claimed the world's record for delayed parachute jumps.
